The new guidelines: This is how you will avoid mistakes that can prevent you from flying abroad | Israel Today

The Ministry of Health has decided to shorten the isolation to five days, but many infected people in Israel keep the results of home tests to themselves and do not report.

In addition, there are those who get a positive result abroad and choose not to report. You should know the mistakes that can prevent you from flying for quite some time. 

I received a positive result in Israel and did not report

Quite a few Israelis get a positive result in an antigen test, keep the results to themselves and do not report them to the authorities.

Those who have recovered in the last three months can get a positive answer in tests throughout this period and therefore get exemption from pre-flight tests with few countries that understood the difficulty and exempted fresh recoverers from tests (including US). In fact, he will have to have a pre-flight test for many countries that give up fresh recoveries for a test, will have to be tested and the chances of getting a positive result are quite high, which means he will not be able to enter all those countries even though he actually recovers. To Israel and those who did not report, will have to perform an examination before returning to Israel and there is a chance that he will get a positive result abroad, which may cause Israelis to get stuck in isolation abroad even though they are not sick.

I got a positive result abroad and did not report

Many Israeli travelers who do not feel well during their vacation abroad purchase quick tests and with them they check if they have been infected with corona. Some choose not to report and try to return to Israel after the isolation is over. Is high and so basically they are exposing themselves to further isolation abroad that will start to be recounted, as they have not reported themselves as positive. Important emphasis in this matter - it is important to perform a PCR or NAAT test abroad so that they will recognize you as recovering from abroad, an antigen test is not enough.

The isolation is not shortened at this stage for those who do not have a green mark

Despite shortening the isolation to five days, those who do not hold their green daughter still need to go into isolation for 7 days back from abroad. There is a chance this decision will change soon, but now, anyone who is not vaccinated or recovering needs to go into isolation for seven days with two PCR tests Back from any country abroad.

The countries that make it difficult for recoverers

As we reported a few days ago, there are quite a few countries that require tests even from fresh recoverers and thus make it difficult for them to enter them, as there is a high chance that a positive answer will be received.

Among the countries: France, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Switzerland and more.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria has decided that Israelis who meet the entry conditions will be able to enter the country from January 20.
